Some of us were brought up with the value of ‘being kind’ or ‘learn how to share/give’ but unfortunately, it seems some people were brought up with the (dis)value of take, take and take from people ‘until they have nothing more to give’. Kindness may be monetary, time or even a good advice (one advice to someone may change a significant thing in their life).
There are some people who really find it difficult to ask or seek for help, because either they’re not used to asking or they have their pride (the good pride of independence) – but sometimes ask for the help they really need. When they receive the help, they show appreciation and off they go. Then, there are others who ask for help once and expect your ‘shop’ to be opened all year round. The day the shop closes – friendship ends.
Many people have gone through tears and hardship to be where they are in life. They had to forgo luxury, work like elephants and eat like ants because if they don’t, they can’t achieve some goals they’ve set before them. If this person who is now comfortable – stretches out his/her arm of kindness to help someone that does not mean the person should be your pillow all the time. We take people’s kindness for granted too much and it’s always the people who give that most of the time, never get a helping hand when they are in dire need.
Personally, I think good people die early because they think everybody is/should be like them – good. They open themselves to undeserving people to abuse their kindness; before they realise what is left of them – the shock alone takes them to their early grave. The fact that you cannot cheat, steal, lie or be ‘wicked’ does not mean everybody should be/is like that. There are people who are now ‘mean’ and I just don’t blame them because someone turned them that way and other people have found themselves in a rut because they were helping a friend out.

Unknown to several people including celebrities, the word ‘journalist’ in its simple form refers to a person who writes news stories or articles for a newspaper, a blog, website or magazine or broadcasts them on radio or television.
Journalism is the act of disseminating news to the public. Journalism is more of a practice, not an academic discipline. This is why Julian Assange, Christopher Hitchens, Komla Dumor and several others are counted as journalists (great ones for that matter) without having attended any major school of journalism…
I am making the above statement to arrive at the point that, the emergence of new media and the shift from the traditional notion of information dissemination has created a long journalistic chain with several people falling into the pot of journalism—just by virtue of what they do from their bedrooms.
As usual, the above has led to gross diminishing of professionalism and expected standards but these does not take away the simple fact that, we now have different forms of journalists with great following and influence.
The influx of new media platforms like blogs have taken away great deal of strength from the traditional news outlets like newspapers and magazines with many struggling to maintain readership…
No wonder the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently ruled in the Cox case that bloggers are entitled to the same protections as journalists. In the court’s reasoning, the court said; “The protections of the First Amendment do not turn on whether the defendant was a trained journalist, formally affiliated with traditional news entities, engaged in conflict-of-interest disclosure, went beyond just assembling others’ writings, or tried to get both sides of a story. As the Supreme Court has accurately warned, a First Amendment distinction between the institutional press and other speakers is unworkable….”
All the above show that, a new media has emerged with great influence and legal protection, as well as a burden of responsibility—-but it seems our African Celebrities (especially Ghanaian Celebrities) do not know how to deal with this new media.
Getting to Harvard alone can be a hell of headache even if you are a brilliant student—let alone gaining admission to all every Ivy League schools in the United States…
Kwasi Enin, 17 year old son of a Ghanaian immigrants in the United State has made headlines after applying to all the Ivy League schools and gaining acceptance…
Congrats to him and his family.
According to E!;
Oh you got into a state school? How…cute.
KWASI ENIN GOT INTO EVERY SINGLE IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL. The 17-year-old, who attends William Floyd High School in Long Island, N.Y., applied to and was accepted by Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and University of Pennsylvania.
(He also got into Duke. NBD.)
How? He ranks 11th in his class, he scored a 2,250 out of 2,400 on his SAT, he’s taken 11 AP classes, he’s an athlete and a musician, oh and he volunteers at a local hospital. Still, Kwasi says he couldn’t believe “when the yesses kept coming.”
“It’s a big deal when we have students apply to one or two Ivies,” Kwasi’s guidance counselor, who says she’s never seen anything like this happen in her 29 years, told USA Today. “To get into one or two is huge. [This] was extraordinary.”
“By applying to all eight, I figured it would better the chances of getting into one,” he told The New York Daily News. He thought it would be Harvard that rejected him (“It has to be the one to reject me. They’re Harvard.”)
